Once suspicion has started, it is hard to stop it.
By really setting their sights on Xiao Chengye, the crowd’s thoughts began to curl up.
Yes, after being suppressed for so many years, who would believe it if they said there was no resentment or hatred. And just now Xiao Chengye suddenly jumped out and shouted, now that he thought about it, he might also be thinking of pinning suspicion on Yuan Jian Yi’s head to keep himself from being suspected.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Xiao Chengye was very suspicious.
“Aigoo, this little brother Xiao, quite good, ruthless enough!” Lian Ning gave a thumbs up and teased.
Xiao Chengming’s death had nothing to do with them, so if the Imperial Sword Villa wanted to take their anger, they were not afraid, after all, who did not have a background? After all, who doesn’t have a background? Therefore, in fact, many of the people present were just here to watch the fun.
Now that the action has reached its climax, the murderer is unexpectedly the victim’s brother, which is a great reversal of effect.
Of course, there were also those who despised Xiao Chengye for committing such an evil act of fratricide, and Zhu Kong from Luofu Mountain sneered, “worse than a beast!”
Luofu Mountain was also one of the four great Daoist sects along with the True Martial Sect, proficient in the Daoist sword and using the sword to open up the path of the Dao, it was a Daoist sect and also a great school of the sword.
The Imperial Sword Villa has expanded its power over the years and has the intention of repeating the Sword God Lake, so it treats other sword sects with a superior posture, either explicitly or implicitly.
Although Luofu Mountain is one of the Four Great Daoist Sects, it is not exempt from the same treatment. Rather, Mount Luofu was not a surviving sword sect and was secretly very much ridiculed by the Imperial Sword Villa, and relations between the two sides had always been harsh.
“So it’s a thief calling out to catch a thief, his own family killed Xiao Chengming, but threw the black pot on our senior brother Yuan’s head ——”
“Shame on you ——”
——
Phrased so fiercely, it was naturally the righteously indignant Sword Dao Palace disciples, and as the other sufferer apart from Xiao Cheng Ming, the Sword Dao Palace disciples could be said to have reacted the most.
”Hm? With his reaction, could it be that he knows the real culprit?”
Amongst the crowd, the one that Qing Yu was most concerned about was the seemingly profound and unpredictable Qiao Baixuan.
At this moment, Qiao Baixuan was simply watching the others’ reactions indifferently, his face not happy or sad, like an outsider, not at all able to see that he had taken the initiative to pick out the identities of the two Luo Yan and request an investigation.
Moreover, Qing Yu noticed that Qiao Bai Xuan’s gaze, too, was sweeping from time to time to that disciple of the Imperial Sword Villa that he had previously suspected.
“I am not, not ——”
With the crowd’s mouth and the heavy suspicion, Xiao Chengye was now unable to defend himself and was pinned to the wall of the charge of fratricide.
Although the crowd would not do anything to him, after all, he was the young master of the Imperial Sword Villa, and after Xiao Chengming’s death, still the only young master. But it was conceivable that he would not be well off when he returned to the Imperial Sword Villa.
Moreover, as we are all of the righteous sects, how can we allow this villain who killed his brother to compete for such a treasure as the Heaven Reckoning Inheritance, it is better to bind this villain and send him up to the Imperial Sword Villa afterwards for the Villa Master to deal with.
“Young warrior Qiao — Brother Qiao, you are under the tutelage of Elder Time-Life, with your discerning eyes, you will surely be able to see that I have been wrongly accused, please save me!”
Xiao Chengye thought of what Qiao Baixuan had said earlier, that he had found the murderer, but there was no evidence, so he immediately took Qiao Baixuan as the last straw to save his life.
If he were to be labelled as a fratricide, he might be imprisoned in the Villa for the rest of his life, even if his father did not slap him to death to pay for his brother’s death. At such a time, Xiao Chengye could not care less about saving face.
“Young Master Xiao, don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer injustice for nothing.” Qiao Baixuan walked over and patted Xiao Chengye’s shoulder.
At these words, the crowd looked at Qiao Baixuan in unison.
“Young warrior Qiao, is the real culprit not Xiao Chengye?”
“The real culprit is naturally not Xiao Chengye. The Imperial Sword Villa is a famous and righteous sect, and Master Xiao is also a famous member of the righteous path, so how could he teach a rebellious son who killed his brother? Am I right, Young Master Xiao?” Qiao Baixuan looked at Xiao Chengye with a smile and said.
“Yes, yes, Young Master Qiao is right!” Xiao Chengye nodded his head like a garlic pounding, if there was a stone slab in front of his head, it could be shattered by his head hammer.
“The real culprit, then, is among the people.” Qiao Baixuan turned to look around at the crowd, “He is ——”
Suddenly, without looking back, Qiao Baixuan slapped his palm backwards, the wind of the palm seemed to be there, but the light palm seemed to be everywhere, like a net in the sky, enveloping the person who was sure to be hit.
The palm wind swept past Xiao Chengye’s shoulder behind him and struck at an ordinary, unremarkable disciple of the Imperial Sword Villa.
With Qiao Baixuan’s strength and this unusual-looking palm, this disciple would definitely not be able to dodge this palm.
However, there is no certainty in everything.
Qing Yu’s Taixu Eye could observe that the disciple’s power had risen steeply, to the second, third and fourth levels of the Innate ——
directly soared to the seventh level of Innate Heaven, suddenly drew his sword, Hui Ran sword Qi, a sword cut through Qiao Bai Xuan’s palm that enveloped everything, right dodged to avoid the sure hit palm.
“You ——” Xiao Chengye, who was nearly stunned by the palm he had just delivered, turned around just in time to see the disciple’s blinding display.
“Li Qiu Ran?! How is that possible?” Xiao Chengye shouted in disbelief.
This Li Qiu Ran Xiao Chengye knew, one of his elder brother Xiao Cheng Ming’s followers.
However, how could he be big brother Xiao Chengming’s follower with such strength when he was already surpa*sing the sixth level of Xiantian himself at the seventh level of Xiantian. Moreover, Xiao Chengming was only at the seventh level of Innate Heaven, ah.
”Li Qiu Ran, a familiar name that has been missing for a long time!” Qing Yu remembered this name, after all, his family had basically died at Qing Yu’s hands.
Li Qiu Ran, the second son of Li Ping Sheng, the head of the Yang City Li family – Li Qiu Ran, was often absent from Yang City and had been away under the name of doing business. In fact, he had long since joined the Royal Sword Villa, and most of the Li family’s funds were used for Li Qiu Ran’s various expenses at the Royal Sword Villa.
Well – the main reason why Qing Yu remembered this name that he had only seen once was this. Li Qiu Ran had caused Qing Yu to lose a large amount of villain points into his account.
After dodging that slap, Li Qiu Ran swung his sword across, sword light flashed, and the surrounding disciples of the Imperial Sword Villa were either dead or injured.
After that, he raised his qi and tried to escape with his light skills.
“Catch him!” Xiao Chengye shouted.
However, the people who were still nearby were not under his command, and they did not have the heart to help their rival catch him.
With no one to help, Li Qiu Ran’s escape seemed to be a foregone conclusion. The casuals outside could not stop him.
However, they didn’t have the heart, someone else did.
“Stay!”
The sharp sword qi cut across Li Qiu Ran’s escape path.
